The Rays young pitching studmuffin, David Price, graces the cover of Sports Illustrated* this week for the second time in less than a year.

*Ben Zobrist, John Jaso, Sean Rodriguez and Casey Kotchman are also on the cover if you are scoring at hom.

The Rays have a knack for making records; most of the time it's stuff that sucks. Apart from the Jeter debacle, their home/road scoring deferential should get them another record. Hopefully they don't get no-hit again. Go Rays!
